It is a remarkable fact Hint, in all ages nnd countries, the party aiming at royal power and privileges has firm attempted to corrupt tlio populace by means of the treasury. Men of this character have invariably on- deavored to satisly the people, and roconcile them to thair slavish state, by urging upon thein what they call "fAe protperily of the country." According to their views, no country can be in a bad state which tins a full treamry. All observing men must have remarked that this argument has been constantly urged, and with much effect, by tho royalist porty in ibis country. Tell them of the tondencv of eovernmcnt to consolida tion of the alarming encroachments of power of the violation of the constitution ot the vast increase 01 the power and patronage of the Executive and of the rapid decline of the spirit of American liberty and they reply toyou, "Have we not millions in the treasury J Aro not cotton, and tobacco, and wheat, and nil other staples, bringing the highest prices? Is not the country prosperous in the highest degroo !" Theso are the answers invariably urged in reply, as if a nation's prosperity and freedom were to bo nicns-ured by dollari aild eenti! Their ideas extend no fur-ther and with reasons like these they gild the chains they are forging for tho hands of those tliey would enslave. As a specimen of this royal cant, we extract the following ptragraph from onoof tho royalist prints, published in Baltimore: "But what has been the result of the ruinous process of which the oiiDosi lion hnvo so loudly complained 1 The last remains of the national debt has been ex tinguished; from many orticlca on which heavy duties were formerly puid, the duty has boon entirely abolished: and on manv others thov have been very materially roduccd; and yet tlio principal ground of complaint on the part of the opposition, against the ad ministration, is, the accumulation oi a large amount 01 revenue beyond the wonts of the government. From the report of tho Committee of Ways and Means, recently submitted toCongress, it appears that tho revenue derived during the past year from customs amounted to $23,000,000; and from the snlo of public lands to $24,500,000; and from other sources Jti'20,000; making in the aggregate $50, 1 '211,000. Since 11129, thcro hns boon an addition of $45,093,20 i" to our metallic currency. The cotton crop of this year is estimated nt 1,570, 800 bales, being 210,000 more thnn was produced in 1835. Since the 4th of March, 1829, the government has appropriated $2tS,9U2,0till to extinguish Indian titles to land, and to removo the Indians boyond the Mississippi : and the expenses of Indian wars since that time have amounted to $13,000,000. The amount of land acquired within six yenis from tho Indinns is about 90.000.000 ncres, which will more than discharge all tho appropriations that have ever been made on account of Indian ware and Indian titles. And tho ordinary expenses of the government amount to about $20,000,000." Not one word about the principles of liberty not a syllable in favor of a frco constitution nothing but money, money, money! This is theouly standard of all that is valuable in our institutions this is the only measure of national prosperity ! Gross, groveling spirit of lucro! Such sentiments consort well with the mercenary temper of the times. Such opinions do well become the principles and prepossessions and practices of a "SPOILS PARTY." Their feelings, their motives, their aspirations, begin and end in the gross lust ot gain and their hearts contract or expand at tucve' nal touch of gold. THRILLING NARRATIVE. The following affecting narrative of a visit to the barn at Hempstead lieach, where were collected the dead of tho barque Mexico, is from a letter published in the Boston Mercantile Journal : On reaching Hempstead, I concluded to go somewhat off the road to look at the place where the barque Mex ico was castaway. In half an hour we came to Lott'a . tavern; some four or five miles this side of the beach where the ship lnv nnd here, in his barn, had been deposited the bodies of the ill-fated passengers which had been thrown upon the shore. I went out to the barn. The doors were open, and such a scene as presented itself to my view, I certainly never could have contemplated. It was a dreadful, a frightful scone of norror. Forty or fifty bodies, of all nges and sexes, wore lyin promiscuously before me. over the floor, all frozen, ani as solid as marble and all except a few, in the vory dresses in which they perished. Some with their hands clenched, aa if for warmth, nnd almost every ono wun an arm crooned ana Dent as it would ue in cling' ing to the riggintr. I here wore scatterou obout among the number, four or five boautiful little girls, from six to sixteen yenrs of age, tneir cneeKs ana lips as red aa roses, with their Diue caim eyos open, looking you in the lace as it they would speak. I could hardly realize that they were dead. I touched their cheeks, and they were frozon ss hard and ns solid as a rock, and not the least indentation could bo made by any pressure of the hand. I could porceive resemblance to each other, and supposed them to be the daughters of a passenger named Pepnor, who po- nsneu logoiuer wun ins wile and all tlio laimly. vn tne arm oi aoine were to De seen the impression of the rope which thoy had clung the mark o.f the twist deeply sunk into the flesh. 1 saw ono poor negro sailor, a tall man, with his hoad thrown back, his lips parted, and his now sightless eye-balls turned upward, and his arms, crossed over his broast, as if imploring iieaven tor aid. i nts poor-lellow evidently had Iroxen while in the act of prayer. One female had a rope tied to hor leg, which had bound her to the rigging and another little fellow had been crying, and thus frozen, with tho muscles of the tice just aa we seo children when crying. There was a brother and sister thrown on the beach locked in each other's arms: but thoy had been separated in the barn. All tho men had their lips firmly compressed togethor, and with the most agonizing expression on their countenances 1 ever beheld. A little girl had raised herself on tiptoe, and thus was frozen just in that position. It was an awful sight; and such a picture of horror was before me, Ihnt 1 became unconsciously fixed to the spot, and found myself trying to suppress my ordinary breathing, lest I should disturb the rcposo of thoso around mo. I was aroused from the rovorie by tlio entrance of a man a coroner. Aa I was about to leave, my attention became directed to a girl, who, 1 afterwards lenrned, had como that morning from the city to search for hor sister. She had sent for her to come over from England, and hsd received intelligence that she was in this ship. She came into the barn, and the second body she cast . her eyes upon was hors. Sho gnve way to such a burst -of impassioned grief nnd anguish, that I could not behold her without abating her feelings. She threw hcr- self upon the cold and icy face and neck of the lifeless body, and thus, with her arms around her, remained wailing, moaning, and sobbing, till I came away and when some distance off, I could hear her calling her by name in the most frantic inannor. So little time had thoy to prepare for thoir fate, that I perceived a bunch of koya and a half eaten cake full from the bosom of a girl whom the coronor was removing. The cako appeared as if a part of it had just been bitten and hastily thrust into hor bosom; and round her neck was a riband, with a pair of scissors suspended. And to observe the stout, rugged sailors, tun, whose iron frames could enduro so much hardship hero they lay, massos of ico. Such scenes show us indeed how powerlcss and feeblo are all human efforts, when contending against the storms nnd tempesis which sweep with resistless violenco ovor tho fuco of thodeup. And yet the vossol waa so near tho ahoro that tho shrieks and moans of the poor creatures wuro heard through that bitter, dreadlul night, till towards morning the groans died away, and all was hushed in denth, and tho murmur of the raging billows was all tho sound that met the enr. THE AUTOMATON CHESS PLAYER. The following Narrative of the Life nnd Adventures of the Automnton Chess Player, is translated from the Fronclt journal "La (rarrfe .Vad'onat." As n connected history of the remarkable success of this celebrated invention, it will be read with interest. jXatioiial Gaccllt. Never perhaps has the nppcninnco of tlio moat brilliant phenomenon attracted more attention in the learned world, thnn that of tho Automaton Chess Player, invented by Baron Kcnipelcn. This automaton was first known nt rreshurgli, in 1770. It challenged the best players to combat, from which it was always suro to come olF victorious. We can httrdlv form an idea of the dcliuht with which the foreign journals related tho wonders performed by this marvellous machine, nor tlio exaggeration oi too nut-tcry lavished upon the inventor: a second Prometheus, he had stolen firo from heaven to animate his work. Every possible combination of chess playing appeared to have been foreseen by his genius, so admirably did the movements of the automaton accord with those of his adversary. Public curiosity, excited by such repeated descriptions, soon assembled at Presburgh a numerous con course of tiniRteurs, lncchnnies and nrtists. The reception room of tho Baron Kempelen wob con tinuatly thronged. The uutomuton, urcsscu in a iiiaumiiceni tuman, nnd the rich costume of an Asiatic Sultan, was seated beforo a chess-board, covered with his pieces, and bin- ccd upon a cabinet three feet high, two in width, and live in Icnstli, and moved on rollers. In this cabinet, the whcelB, the cylinders and levers necessary tor the use ot tne machine are placed. uc-foro the automaton commenced playing, the inventor carefully opened the doors one after another, nnd ro-mnrked'upoii the multiplicity of the wheel-work with which it was filled, showing it to he impossible to place nny one within. As soon as a plnyor exhibited himself, tho exhibitor, furnished with an iron key, wound up tho mneliiue with studied gravity, when the noise of the wheels could bo distinctly heard catching in a cog-wheel like thnt of a clock. The eyes of the automaton wero then cast down on the chess bonrd, nnd after somo moments of npparcnt meditation, ho slowly rniscd his arm, directed it to tne piocc which lie wished to taao, seizeu u iiruuy between his lingers, rnised it, moved it to tho square wl'.ero it should be placed.' It was in vain to endeavor to disconcert him by a wrong movement; the slightest depnrture from the rules seemed to make his brow darken; he shook his hendasa Bign of discontent, and replaced the piece ill played to the square from which it enme. When it was about to announce a check, the lips of tho automaton wore ngitatcd, and there escaped a honrse sound like the pronunciation of tho word diet or che, which, though loobly nrticulutcd, was sufficient to warn the adversary. Thus nothing which could complete tlio illusion had been neglected. It was not long, however, before the surprise of the spectator began to diminish; the more tho movements of tho nutomaton wero executed with promptness and facility, tho tuoro it became evident that thoy were subjected to a directing force. Tho inventor himself acknowledged it; hut what was tins invention so skilllul, and in a game too in wlncli one can excel onlv after close ntudv and lonir practice'.' Lvery cyo intently hxed upon Mr. hcmpcluu, sought in vain to discover in-hiB looks, in his manners, in Ins slightest gesture, some indication ot tho means winch he omployed; sometimes be turned his back lo the ta ble, nnd ngnin wnlked away several steps, leaving the automaton to move once or twico in succession with' out approaching it. Ho moved the table to nny situa tion the spectator wished, thus rendering all communi cation with the floor or the next room impossible. The examination to which tho machine had been sub mitted, removed all atipposition that a child or dwarf could bo concealed: besides, how, at the bottom of this cnbinet, nlmost hermetically closed, could they see nnd direct the play of a chess-board upon the table above? Tho mystery remained a long timo impenetrable. Mnster of its secret, tho automaton visited the capitals of Germnny and France: every where it was received with extreme curiosity, and often excited transports of surprise and admiration. Arriving in Paris in 17!)j, his star beenmo dim hoforo tho celebrated playore of the Regent Coffee llouso. But one enn, without shnmo, acknowledge themselves conquored by the Philidors, and theLcgnls, nnd have yet a brilliant career to run. On its return to Berlin, the automnton challenged all the Lords of the court of tho Great Frederic, and was even admitted to the honor of playing with this prince, a great amateur of chess. In a moment of enthusiasm, t redenc, nt a orcat cxponse, became master ol the ma chine nnd ita secret; a minute account developed lo him all tho mysteries of this innocent limine. From that time the delusion vanished; the automnton de throned, disdained, covered wilh dust, wus exiled tonn obscure npartment of the palace, where it remained nearly thirty years hidden and fur-rotten. It owes its resurrection, in parr, to tho presenco of Napoleon at Berlin. It was taken from its obscurity, recovered its former splendor, and proud of having tri umphed over the conqueror of Ansterlitz, it ngnin com- menccu us truvcis. Jjonuon and funs received it with ronowed pleasure LAST CALL, The notes and account, of 1.. REYNOLDS are In the hands of Stabling Si Gii.ataT.for collection All IhoM that art not satisfactorily arranged In thirty days must inevitably be sued. February 3,.4w We will pnss rapidly over aomo years of the adven turous lifo of our hero. Accompanied by an exhibitor, cducntcd in the school of .Mr. Kempelen, nnd always n uiiucnuiiy niucu oy nis uireciiug power, witiioui which it could not muvo a step, the aulomaton aoutrlit ongerly overy occasion lo distinguish itself, nnd never quiitcu mo mime neiu witiioui ueingauie io sny wun Cffisar: lf'eni, rui, tlci.1 At Icnutli, preceded by nn unprecedented reputation, it arrived at tho court oi Ba varia, i here the astonishment and enthusiasm which its piny novor failed to excite, were renewed. So ureal was the impression it made, that prince Eugeno could not resist the temptation of becoming possessor uf this chef d'tmivro, and to bo initiated in the occult science n iueii pcnuruieu so many wonders, hub wish whs gratilied; and the price of his initiation was lixed at tne sum ot M,UW Irenes. The time wub now nt hand when the voil wns to raised, when ho wns to know this invisible genius, tins superior intcliigcnco which rulod tho chess-board. Ilo was lett alone with the exhibitor, who, lor the whole explanation opened both doors ol the machine at once tho wheels hnd disappeared ; a man, a truo chess player, occupied their place. Ho was seated upon a low onckct with rollors, nnd Bcomcd very ill nt enso. Wi can juugo wnat at tins sight wns the disenchnutincnt of tho now purchnBor. Tho solution of the nrineinnl problem wob reduced to a mero juggler's trick. TIiobo u-yers, uieso cog wiieeis, and una cylinder, were but thin paper cuttings, pluccd on partitions und removed ni win. Whilst the examination of the interior inerlmni.i took place, ns the doors only opened one nftcr unothor, the player wns concealed in the buck of tho automaton, his limbs folded under him, sometimes leaning to the opposite side, with his head down and his hunds before him; be thus by turns hid himself as tho doors opened alternately. Ono or two repetitions wero sufficient to nanuuate mm to tuts exercise, and to tench him first to turn the crnnk lor directing the arm of the automaton; thon to put in motion the clastic spring which win to movo tho fingers; and last, to pull the cord thnt tho nutomaton might give utteranco to tho word "cnocn." I lie player is Iighlcd in his box by a taper, nnd has Dcloro li ma a chess-bonrd, on which nil tho sqnnrcs nro numbered: nnothur chess-board, likewiso numbered, is placed in tho ceiling nhove his bond, nnd forms the reverse of that upon which the automaton tiluvs. The pieces strongly magnetized nt their base, by" thoir at traction open same nine traps adapted to each square of this bnck board. Tho plnyor, nttcntivo lo tho rise and tail ol these traps, knows precisely tho move plny-ed by his adversary; ho immediately repoats this move "pun ins own cness-uooru ; plays Ins own move, and cnuscB it afterwards to be done by the nittoinnton. Tlio ingenious means invented to establish a connection between the exterior and interior of tho ina-cliino nlono, fixed tho attention of tho prince; perhaps ho found he had paid too denr for (he seciot. He Bind nothing, and oven amused himself a while in (ho presenco ol somo intimate friends in playing the part of exhibitor, Hut that ho might enjoy bis knowledgo for n length of time, it was necessary thnt a skilllul plnyrr should bo employed, which would ImvoBoon opened all eyes and given a key to the enigma. Tho prince found himself rcducod to litis alternative; cither tocmploy this skillful plnver orngain to condoinn the automaton to obscurity. Ho waa uncertain tvhni pnrt to take, when Mr.M o I, that skillful mechanist, mm D,idia,i.u iiiuisi'ii who regret irom ins beloved pupil, asked the fnyor lo continue the exhibition of its brilliant talents, engaging to pay the interest of tho sum disbursed. I ins pioposuion was accepteu: auu Mr. M c I left Havana and exhibited the automaton with grent success. He wns received in Franco and England like an old ncqunintnnce of whom we just rc-tniu n recollection; it seemed to have renewed its youth 1 although the reign of sorcorers had passed away, it still possessed the power to fuscinulc evory eye; in more simple language, it always nstonisbed by the ingenuity of its machinery, nnd the skill uf its concealed player. To ono or two celebrated players wns confided the internal direction of the automaton. Mr. B t, in Paris, and Mr. 1 w s, in London, mudo it triumph without dilliculty over nil who presented themselves for combnt ; when Mr. M c 1 formed the plan of working on the curiosity of several cities in England, Scotland and Holland, whore tho automaton had never been. To accomplish thut design, it wns necessary to have the assistance of a traveling companion who hnd a superior knowledgo of chess: he proposed this plan to Mr. M., a very amiable nnd lively man, who consented lo accompany him, nnd become his associate ill the benefits of the eiilcrp'ise. The most complete success stgnnlized the courso of our travelers, wncrover nicy pucucu uieir lenis, spectators iratberod in crowds to witness the combat. Tho automaton, liko a chevalier in a tournament, of- lorcd to ins antagonist tho advantages ol arms and around, that is to say. in the language of chess, the pawn nnd first move, notwithstanding which bo was nlwnys successful. The speculntion wns profitable; porfect harmony ex isted between the associates, whose accounts wererc-a-ulnrlv settled with scrupulous exactness. Alter n while, however, Mr. M e 1 owed tho player a largo sum; of which, under different pretexts, he delnyed the payment from week to week, nnd month to month. A year thus pnsscd away, and Mr.M e I refused lo settle the account, when Mr, HI t lound an inlalli ble means to decide it. Tlio automnton was then nt Amsterdam; tho King of Holland had early in tho morning engaged a lourth part of the hall, nnd puid for ita sum in llurins equal to 3,000 francs; Mr. M e 1 ran to nnnouneo this news to his nssocintc. 1 hey breakfustetl gaily together; Mr. M e 1 hastened to mnko tho necessary preparations to receive tho King; the assembly were to mcot at hnlf past twelve; twelve struck, and the pluycr, who should have been in his machine, is not yet at his post; Mr. M e I, out of patience, went to inquire the cause ot tins ueiny. vvuul is ins OBionisiimeni to nnu Mr. M t in bed, and trembling ns with nil aguo lit. "What do I sec? What is the matter 1" "I havo a fever." "Whnt is that you sayj You were well enough an hour since." "Yes, it is a thunder stroke." "The King will como." "Ilo will go away again." "What shall I say to him J" "That the automaton has a fever.' "A truce to your jokes." "It is no laughing mnttcr." "Tho receipts wero never bolter.1' "Return the money." "I proy you get up." "Impossible." "1 will go cull a physician." "Useless." "Is there then no menns of nrevcnlin? ibis fever?" "Yes; ono only it is lopay me the loiJ francs you owo me." "Well, be it so. This evening?" "No, no; this moment." Mr. M c I, seeing no other alternative, went fur the money. The cure was wonderful; the iiiitomatou never played better. I he King did not play, only he advised his minislerof wnr, who played fur him. The conlition were completely beaten; but the defeat was laid entirely to tho account ol tlio rcspous.bio itiinia-tcr.Tho expedition of our travelers hnd senrccly terminated, when Mr. M o 1 engaged a player to go witl hiiiito America: n young mun, a nnlivo of Mulliuiisen, a pupil of the best pluycrs in the Regent Coffee House, wus this time choson for confidant. The exhibitor taught him tho art of conccnling himself, nndnbovenll not to mnko the lenst noiso which would excite sus picion; nnd finished his instructions with theso words: "If you should henr fire cried, don1! move. I will come lo your aid." The following nnecdote, it is s-iid, deter mined Mr. M o 1 to give this advice to thosa he mi liatcd: In some of his early travels, ho wns nt n Germnn city, where was a eelcbruted juggler, a pupil of Conns and i'lnetts, giving exhibitions. 1 ho iiutomutiin soon eclipsed the juggler, who, piqued nnd jealous, went to soc his rivnl; guessed the secret, nnd, aided by n con federate, all of n sudden cried "tiro." Wo can judge tho alarm of the spectators; the automaton in liislri"ln pusliod his adversary over, and rolled and turned him self about; bo seemed to have become crazy. Forti nalely Mr. M c I had presence of mind onough to pusli tne machine bemud a curtain, when It soon be-camo culm. The trick of tho juggler wan Boon discovered, bu did nun no good. 1 1 is rival still bore awny lite palm.

It is a remarkable fact Hint, in all ages nnd countries, the party aiming at royal power and privileges has firm attempted to corrupt tlio populace by means of the treasury. Men of this character have invariably on- deavored to satisly the people, and roconcile them to thair slavish state, by urging upon thein what they call "fAe protperily of the country." According to their views, no country can be in a bad state which tins a full treamry. All observing men must have remarked that this argument has been constantly urged, and with much effect, by tho royalist porty in ibis country. Tell them of the tondencv of eovernmcnt to consolida tion of the alarming encroachments of power of the violation of the constitution ot the vast increase 01 the power and patronage of the Executive and of the rapid decline of the spirit of American liberty and they reply toyou, "Have we not millions in the treasury J Aro not cotton, and tobacco, and wheat, and nil other staples, bringing the highest prices? Is not the country prosperous in the highest degroo !" Theso are the answers invariably urged in reply, as if a nation's prosperity and freedom were to bo nicns-ured by dollari aild eenti! Their ideas extend no fur-ther and with reasons like these they gild the chains they are forging for tho hands of those tliey would enslave. As a specimen of this royal cant, we extract the following ptragraph from onoof tho royalist prints, published in Baltimore: "But what has been the result of the ruinous process of which the oiiDosi lion hnvo so loudly complained 1 The last remains of the national debt has been ex tinguished; from many orticlca on which heavy duties were formerly puid, the duty has boon entirely abolished: and on manv others thov have been very materially roduccd; and yet tlio principal ground of complaint on the part of the opposition, against the ad ministration, is, the accumulation oi a large amount 01 revenue beyond the wonts of the government. From the report of tho Committee of Ways and Means, recently submitted toCongress, it appears that tho revenue derived during the past year from customs amounted to $23,000,000; and from the snlo of public lands to $24,500,000; and from other sources Jti'20,000; making in the aggregate $50, 1 '211,000. Since 11129, thcro hns boon an addition of $45,093,20 i" to our metallic currency. The cotton crop of this year is estimated nt 1,570, 800 bales, being 210,000 more thnn was produced in 1835. Since the 4th of March, 1829, the government has appropriated $2tS,9U2,0till to extinguish Indian titles to land, and to removo the Indians boyond the Mississippi : and the expenses of Indian wars since that time have amounted to $13,000,000. The amount of land acquired within six yenis from tho Indinns is about 90.000.000 ncres, which will more than discharge all tho appropriations that have ever been made on account of Indian ware and Indian titles. And tho ordinary expenses of the government amount to about $20,000,000." Not one word about the principles of liberty not a syllable in favor of a frco constitution nothing but money, money, money! This is theouly standard of all that is valuable in our institutions this is the only measure of national prosperity ! Gross, groveling spirit of lucro! Such sentiments consort well with the mercenary temper of the times. Such opinions do well become the principles and prepossessions and practices of a "SPOILS PARTY." Their feelings, their motives, their aspirations, begin and end in the gross lust ot gain and their hearts contract or expand at tucve' nal touch of gold. THRILLING NARRATIVE. The following affecting narrative of a visit to the barn at Hempstead lieach, where were collected the dead of tho barque Mexico, is from a letter published in the Boston Mercantile Journal : On reaching Hempstead, I concluded to go somewhat off the road to look at the place where the barque Mex ico was castaway. In half an hour we came to Lott'a . tavern; some four or five miles this side of the beach where the ship lnv nnd here, in his barn, had been deposited the bodies of the ill-fated passengers which had been thrown upon the shore. I went out to the barn. The doors were open, and such a scene as presented itself to my view, I certainly never could have contemplated. It was a dreadful, a frightful scone of norror. Forty or fifty bodies, of all nges and sexes, wore lyin promiscuously before me. over the floor, all frozen, ani as solid as marble and all except a few, in the vory dresses in which they perished. Some with their hands clenched, aa if for warmth, nnd almost every ono wun an arm crooned ana Dent as it would ue in cling' ing to the riggintr. I here wore scatterou obout among the number, four or five boautiful little girls, from six to sixteen yenrs of age, tneir cneeKs ana lips as red aa roses, with their Diue caim eyos open, looking you in the lace as it they would speak. I could hardly realize that they were dead. I touched their cheeks, and they were frozon ss hard and ns solid as a rock, and not the least indentation could bo made by any pressure of the hand. I could porceive resemblance to each other, and supposed them to be the daughters of a passenger named Pepnor, who po- nsneu logoiuer wun ins wile and all tlio laimly. vn tne arm oi aoine were to De seen the impression of the rope which thoy had clung the mark o.f the twist deeply sunk into the flesh. 1 saw ono poor negro sailor, a tall man, with his hoad thrown back, his lips parted, and his now sightless eye-balls turned upward, and his arms, crossed over his broast, as if imploring iieaven tor aid. i nts poor-lellow evidently had Iroxen while in the act of prayer. One female had a rope tied to hor leg, which had bound her to the rigging and another little fellow had been crying, and thus frozen, with tho muscles of the tice just aa we seo children when crying. There was a brother and sister thrown on the beach locked in each other's arms: but thoy had been separated in the barn. All tho men had their lips firmly compressed togethor, and with the most agonizing expression on their countenances 1 ever beheld. A little girl had raised herself on tiptoe, and thus was frozen just in that position. It was an awful sight; and such a picture of horror was before me, Ihnt 1 became unconsciously fixed to the spot, and found myself trying to suppress my ordinary breathing, lest I should disturb the rcposo of thoso around mo. I was aroused from the rovorie by tlio entrance of a man a coroner. Aa I was about to leave, my attention became directed to a girl, who, 1 afterwards lenrned, had como that morning from the city to search for hor sister. She had sent for her to come over from England, and hsd received intelligence that she was in this ship. She came into the barn, and the second body she cast . her eyes upon was hors. Sho gnve way to such a burst -of impassioned grief nnd anguish, that I could not behold her without abating her feelings. She threw hcr- self upon the cold and icy face and neck of the lifeless body, and thus, with her arms around her, remained wailing, moaning, and sobbing, till I came away and when some distance off, I could hear her calling her by name in the most frantic inannor. So little time had thoy to prepare for thoir fate, that I perceived a bunch of koya and a half eaten cake full from the bosom of a girl whom the coronor was removing. The cako appeared as if a part of it had just been bitten and hastily thrust into hor bosom; and round her neck was a riband, with a pair of scissors suspended. And to observe the stout, rugged sailors, tun, whose iron frames could enduro so much hardship hero they lay, massos of ico. Such scenes show us indeed how powerlcss and feeblo are all human efforts, when contending against the storms nnd tempesis which sweep with resistless violenco ovor tho fuco of thodeup. And yet the vossol waa so near tho ahoro that tho shrieks and moans of the poor creatures wuro heard through that bitter, dreadlul night, till towards morning the groans died away, and all was hushed in denth, and tho murmur of the raging billows was all tho sound that met the enr. THE AUTOMATON CHESS PLAYER. The following Narrative of the Life nnd Adventures of the Automnton Chess Player, is translated from the Fronclt journal "La (rarrfe .Vad'onat." As n connected history of the remarkable success of this celebrated invention, it will be read with interest. jXatioiial Gaccllt. Never perhaps has the nppcninnco of tlio moat brilliant phenomenon attracted more attention in the learned world, thnn that of tho Automaton Chess Player, invented by Baron Kcnipelcn. This automaton was first known nt rreshurgli, in 1770. It challenged the best players to combat, from which it was always suro to come olF victorious. We can httrdlv form an idea of the dcliuht with which the foreign journals related tho wonders performed by this marvellous machine, nor tlio exaggeration oi too nut-tcry lavished upon the inventor: a second Prometheus, he had stolen firo from heaven to animate his work. Every possible combination of chess playing appeared to have been foreseen by his genius, so admirably did the movements of the automaton accord with those of his adversary. Public curiosity, excited by such repeated descriptions, soon assembled at Presburgh a numerous con course of tiniRteurs, lncchnnies and nrtists. The reception room of tho Baron Kempelen wob con tinuatly thronged. The uutomuton, urcsscu in a iiiaumiiceni tuman, nnd the rich costume of an Asiatic Sultan, was seated beforo a chess-board, covered with his pieces, and bin- ccd upon a cabinet three feet high, two in width, and live in Icnstli, and moved on rollers. In this cabinet, the whcelB, the cylinders and levers necessary tor the use ot tne machine are placed. uc-foro the automaton commenced playing, the inventor carefully opened the doors one after another, nnd ro-mnrked'upoii the multiplicity of the wheel-work with which it was filled, showing it to he impossible to place nny one within. As soon as a plnyor exhibited himself, tho exhibitor, furnished with an iron key, wound up tho mneliiue with studied gravity, when the noise of the wheels could bo distinctly heard catching in a cog-wheel like thnt of a clock. The eyes of the automaton wero then cast down on the chess bonrd, nnd after somo moments of npparcnt meditation, ho slowly rniscd his arm, directed it to tne piocc which lie wished to taao, seizeu u iiruuy between his lingers, rnised it, moved it to tho square wl'.ero it should be placed.' It was in vain to endeavor to disconcert him by a wrong movement; the slightest depnrture from the rules seemed to make his brow darken; he shook his hendasa Bign of discontent, and replaced the piece ill played to the square from which it enme. When it was about to announce a check, the lips of tho automaton wore ngitatcd, and there escaped a honrse sound like the pronunciation of tho word diet or che, which, though loobly nrticulutcd, was sufficient to warn the adversary. Thus nothing which could complete tlio illusion had been neglected. It was not long, however, before the surprise of the spectator began to diminish; the more tho movements of tho nutomaton wero executed with promptness and facility, tho tuoro it became evident that thoy were subjected to a directing force. Tho inventor himself acknowledged it; hut what was tins invention so skilllul, and in a game too in wlncli one can excel onlv after close ntudv and lonir practice'.' Lvery cyo intently hxed upon Mr. hcmpcluu, sought in vain to discover in-hiB looks, in his manners, in Ins slightest gesture, some indication ot tho means winch he omployed; sometimes be turned his back lo the ta ble, nnd ngnin wnlked away several steps, leaving the automaton to move once or twico in succession with' out approaching it. Ho moved the table to nny situa tion the spectator wished, thus rendering all communi cation with the floor or the next room impossible. The examination to which tho machine had been sub mitted, removed all atipposition that a child or dwarf could bo concealed: besides, how, at the bottom of this cnbinet, nlmost hermetically closed, could they see nnd direct the play of a chess-board upon the table above? Tho mystery remained a long timo impenetrable. Mnster of its secret, tho automaton visited the capitals of Germnny and France: every where it was received with extreme curiosity, and often excited transports of surprise and admiration. Arriving in Paris in 17!)j, his star beenmo dim hoforo tho celebrated playore of the Regent Coffee llouso. But one enn, without shnmo, acknowledge themselves conquored by the Philidors, and theLcgnls, nnd have yet a brilliant career to run. On its return to Berlin, the automnton challenged all the Lords of the court of tho Great Frederic, and was even admitted to the honor of playing with this prince, a great amateur of chess. In a moment of enthusiasm, t redenc, nt a orcat cxponse, became master ol the ma chine nnd ita secret; a minute account developed lo him all tho mysteries of this innocent limine. From that time the delusion vanished; the automnton de throned, disdained, covered wilh dust, wus exiled tonn obscure npartment of the palace, where it remained nearly thirty years hidden and fur-rotten. It owes its resurrection, in parr, to tho presenco of Napoleon at Berlin. It was taken from its obscurity, recovered its former splendor, and proud of having tri umphed over the conqueror of Ansterlitz, it ngnin com- menccu us truvcis. Jjonuon and funs received it with ronowed pleasure LAST CALL, The notes and account, of 1..

February 3,.4w We will pnss rapidly over aomo years of the adven turous lifo of our hero. Accompanied by an exhibitor, cducntcd in the school of .Mr. Kempelen, nnd always n uiiucnuiiy niucu oy nis uireciiug power, witiioui which it could not muvo a step, the aulomaton aoutrlit ongerly overy occasion lo distinguish itself, nnd never quiitcu mo mime neiu witiioui ueingauie io sny wun Cffisar: lf'eni, rui, tlci.1 At Icnutli, preceded by nn unprecedented reputation, it arrived at tho court oi Ba varia, i here the astonishment and enthusiasm which its piny novor failed to excite, were renewed. So ureal was the impression it made, that prince Eugeno could not resist the temptation of becoming possessor uf this chef d'tmivro, and to bo initiated in the occult science n iueii pcnuruieu so many wonders, hub wish whs gratilied; and the price of his initiation was lixed at tne sum ot M,UW Irenes. The time wub now nt hand when the voil wns to raised, when ho wns to know this invisible genius, tins superior intcliigcnco which rulod tho chess-board. Ilo was lett alone with the exhibitor, who, lor the whole explanation opened both doors ol the machine at once tho wheels hnd disappeared ; a man, a truo chess player, occupied their place. Ho was seated upon a low onckct with rollors, nnd Bcomcd very ill nt enso. Wi can juugo wnat at tins sight wns the disenchnutincnt of tho now purchnBor. Tho solution of the nrineinnl problem wob reduced to a mero juggler's trick. TIiobo u-yers, uieso cog wiieeis, and una cylinder, were but thin paper cuttings, pluccd on partitions und removed ni win. Whilst the examination of the interior inerlmni.i took place, ns the doors only opened one nftcr unothor, the player wns concealed in the buck of tho automaton, his limbs folded under him, sometimes leaning to the opposite side, with his head down and his hunds before him; be thus by turns hid himself as tho doors opened alternately. Ono or two repetitions wero sufficient to nanuuate mm to tuts exercise, and to tench him first to turn the crnnk lor directing the arm of the automaton; thon to put in motion the clastic spring which win to movo tho fingers; and last, to pull the cord thnt tho nutomaton might give utteranco to tho word "cnocn." I lie player is Iighlcd in his box by a taper, nnd has Dcloro li ma a chess-bonrd, on which nil tho sqnnrcs nro numbered: nnothur chess-board, likewiso numbered, is placed in tho ceiling nhove his bond, nnd forms the reverse of that upon which the automaton tiluvs. The pieces strongly magnetized nt their base, by" thoir at traction open same nine traps adapted to each square of this bnck board. Tho plnyor, nttcntivo lo tho rise and tail ol these traps, knows precisely tho move plny-ed by his adversary; ho immediately repoats this move "pun ins own cness-uooru ; plays Ins own move, and cnuscB it afterwards to be done by the nittoinnton. Tlio ingenious means invented to establish a connection between the exterior and interior of tho ina-cliino nlono, fixed tho attention of tho prince; perhaps ho found he had paid too denr for (he seciot. He Bind nothing, and oven amused himself a while in (ho presenco ol somo intimate friends in playing the part of exhibitor, Hut that ho might enjoy bis knowledgo for n length of time, it was necessary thnt a skilllul plnyrr should bo employed, which would ImvoBoon opened all eyes and given a key to the enigma. Tho prince found himself rcducod to litis alternative; cither tocmploy this skillful plnver orngain to condoinn the automaton to obscurity. Ho waa uncertain tvhni pnrt to take, when Mr.M o I, that skillful mechanist, mm D,idia,i.u iiiuisi'ii who regret irom ins beloved pupil, asked the fnyor lo continue the exhibition of its brilliant talents, engaging to pay the interest of tho sum disbursed. I ins pioposuion was accepteu: auu Mr. M c I left Havana and exhibited the automaton with grent success. He wns received in Franco and England like an old ncqunintnnce of whom we just rc-tniu n recollection; it seemed to have renewed its youth 1 although the reign of sorcorers had passed away, it still possessed the power to fuscinulc evory eye; in more simple language, it always nstonisbed by the ingenuity of its machinery, nnd the skill uf its concealed player. To ono or two celebrated players wns confided the internal direction of the automaton. Mr. B t, in Paris, and Mr. 1 w s, in London, mudo it triumph without dilliculty over nil who presented themselves for combnt ; when Mr. M c 1 formed the plan of working on the curiosity of several cities in England, Scotland and Holland, whore tho automaton had never been. To accomplish thut design, it wns necessary to have the assistance of a traveling companion who hnd a superior knowledgo of chess: he proposed this plan to Mr. M., a very amiable nnd lively man, who consented lo accompany him, nnd become his associate ill the benefits of the eiilcrp'ise. The most complete success stgnnlized the courso of our travelers, wncrover nicy pucucu uieir lenis, spectators iratberod in crowds to witness the combat. Tho automaton, liko a chevalier in a tournament, of- lorcd to ins antagonist tho advantages ol arms and around, that is to say. in the language of chess, the pawn nnd first move, notwithstanding which bo was nlwnys successful. The speculntion wns profitable; porfect harmony ex isted between the associates, whose accounts wererc-a-ulnrlv settled with scrupulous exactness. Alter n while, however, Mr. M e 1 owed tho player a largo sum; of which, under different pretexts, he delnyed the payment from week to week, nnd month to month. A year thus pnsscd away, and Mr.M e I refused lo settle the account, when Mr, HI t lound an inlalli ble means to decide it. Tlio automnton was then nt Amsterdam; tho King of Holland had early in tho morning engaged a lourth part of the hall, nnd puid for ita sum in llurins equal to 3,000 francs; Mr. M e 1 ran to nnnouneo this news to his nssocintc. 1 hey breakfustetl gaily together; Mr. M e 1 hastened to mnko tho necessary preparations to receive tho King; the assembly were to mcot at hnlf past twelve; twelve struck, and the pluycr, who should have been in his machine, is not yet at his post; Mr. M e I, out of patience, went to inquire the cause ot tins ueiny. vvuul is ins OBionisiimeni to nnu Mr. M t in bed, and trembling ns with nil aguo lit. "What do I sec? What is the matter 1" "I havo a fever." "Whnt is that you sayj You were well enough an hour since." "Yes, it is a thunder stroke." "The King will como." "Ilo will go away again." "What shall I say to him J" "That the automaton has a fever.' "A truce to your jokes." "It is no laughing mnttcr." "Tho receipts wero never bolter.1' "Return the money." "I proy you get up." "Impossible." "1 will go cull a physician." "Useless." "Is there then no menns of nrevcnlin? ibis fever?" "Yes; ono only it is lopay me the loiJ francs you owo me." "Well, be it so. This evening?" "No, no; this moment." Mr. M c I, seeing no other alternative, went fur the money. The cure was wonderful; the iiiitomatou never played better. I he King did not play, only he advised his minislerof wnr, who played fur him. The conlition were completely beaten; but the defeat was laid entirely to tho account ol tlio rcspous.bio itiinia-tcr.Tho expedition of our travelers hnd senrccly terminated, when Mr. M o 1 engaged a player to go witl hiiiito America: n young mun, a nnlivo of Mulliuiisen, a pupil of the best pluycrs in the Regent Coffee House, wus this time choson for confidant. The exhibitor taught him tho art of conccnling himself, nndnbovenll not to mnko the lenst noiso which would excite sus picion; nnd finished his instructions with theso words: "If you should henr fire cried, don1! move. I will come lo your aid." The following nnecdote, it is s-iid, deter mined Mr. M o 1 to give this advice to thosa he mi liatcd: In some of his early travels, ho wns nt n Germnn city, where was a eelcbruted juggler, a pupil of Conns and i'lnetts, giving exhibitions. 1 ho iiutomutiin soon eclipsed the juggler, who, piqued nnd jealous, went to soc his rivnl; guessed the secret, nnd, aided by n con federate, all of n sudden cried "tiro." Wo can judge tho alarm of the spectators; the automaton in liislri"ln pusliod his adversary over, and rolled and turned him self about; bo seemed to have become crazy. Forti nalely Mr. M c I had presence of mind onough to pusli tne machine bemud a curtain, when It soon be-camo culm. The trick of tho juggler wan Boon discovered, bu did nun no good. 1 1 is rival still bore awny lite palm. The automaton has spent many years in North Ame rica; be has visited successively the principal cities of tho Unitod States nnd Cnnada; ho is now exercising nis tnieniBin fcuiiiu Attiericn. wo Hope to see nn nc count of bis travels in tho Palamatc. n monthly Re view of Chess, published by .Messrs.
